Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Winston Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 97 name on the board, in the 124th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Wilson lower, and that gap is the story. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at Round 2, Pick 22. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 87th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 124 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the 159th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Circle this one: Kyle Williams at pick 198 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nothing to complain about; Isaac TeSlaa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
No drama and no debate, Teddye Buchanan went about where he belonged in pick No. 250. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
